How Does Thermal Energy Cause Change?
An increase in thermal energy gives particles more kinetic energy, which causes them to vibrate more. As they vibrate more, the volume they take up increases.
What causes the transfer of thermal energy?
Thermal energy transfer from high temperature to low temperature. The cause of transfer is the temperature difference.
The ability to cause a change in matter is what?
Kinetic energy
How does mass effect thermal energy?
The mass has quite a big influence on the kinetic energy, cause its a factor in the formula: 1/2mv2
What form of energy is usually the cause of a change of state?
The type of energy that causes a change in temperature is kinetic energy between molecules. If kinetic energy lowers between molecules then temperature lowers and vice versa.

Does gravity cause kinetic energy to change into thermal energy?
No. Friction with the air does with an object in free fall in the earth's atmosphere. Gravity causes a falling body to accelerate so it changes potential energy into kinetic energy.
How does thermal energy cause substances to undergo chemical change how does thermal energy cause substances to undergo chemical change?
Thermal energy cause thermal decomposition of a compound; the bonds between atoms are weakened.
If you slide a crate across the floor kinetic energy is converted to thermal energy as it comes to rest. Why will adding thermal energy to a stationary crate not cause it to move?
# cos nothing is converting it to kinetic energy # if you add enough thermal energy the box will burn and "move" :)

Thermal energy transfer from high temperature to low temperature. The cause of transfer is the temperature difference.
The ability to cause a change in matter is what?
Kinetic energy
Can kinetic energy cause changes?
kinetic energy can change momentum of the body if any external force exist
How does in thermal energy cause matter to change from one state to another?
An increase in thermal energy may change a solid to a liquid, a liquid to a gas, or a solid to a gas.A decrease in thermal energy may cause a change in the opposite direction - for example, from a liquid to a solid.

Why does a wire get hot?
Leaving the power on would cause over heating of wires because the passing electrons with kinetic and electrical energy will transfer the energy as thermal energy when it touches the nuclei. This thermal energy will give the nuclei particles more kinetic energy and therefore causing more of a blockage for the electrons to flow.
